British-Malawian businessman Zuneth Sattar has been indicted in the UK on 18 counts of bribery, @mcbrams.bsky.social reports. He’s accused of orchestrating a sprawling corruption network in Malawi, allegedly involving a top cop, the former VP and the ex-head of the country’s Anti-Corruption Bureau.

It was a conservationist’s dream. Three years ago, nearly 300 elephants were moved into a park on the Malawi-Zambia border. Now 10 people have been killed by elephants and a lawsuit claims 12,000 others have paid the price for that alleged conservation success story. @mcbrams.bsky.social reports.

I’m no agriculture expert. But like many Malawians, I’ve watched with growing frustration as the AIP devours over K250 billion every year—yet millions of our people remain food insecure. www.linkedin.com/posts/mcbram...

#Malawi must break free from the shackles of political hero worship. We must abandon the parable of the flawless leader & embrace the reality that true leadership is messy, imperfect, and, most importantly, subject to the will of the people. Read on: www.linkedin.com/pulse/parabl...

Soaring Prices Ignite Protests In #Malawi As Elections Loom www.barrons.com/news/soaring...

Lest we forget—@LAZARUSCHAKWERA's 2019 campaign promises still echo. But have they turned into action? Are we truly prosperous? United? Free from corruption? Has the rule of law prevailed? #Malawi, the ballot was a contract. It’s time to audit the results. #HoldingPowerToAccount

A few years back, someone quipped that if you're born and raised in #Malawi, you die a thousand deaths before your final breath. Back then, it sounded poetic—now, it just feels like a lived reality

Bread prices in #Malawi are rising faster than my blood pressure at the checkout. My go-to baker, Bread Talk, just hiked their standard loaf from K1,500 to K4,100 in two months! At this rate, by September, we might be bartering votes for a loaf. Bring on the mbatata season!

Sifting through court filings, submissions, and rulings to find the story is an extreme sport—one that requires a legal endurance and discipline which I clearly lack. Which is why I’d never have made it as a lawyer of note. Ife koma zomwezi.

‘Devastating’: #Malawi left in dire straits by Trump’s decision to freeze aid www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

In the beginning God created the Earth. And rested. And then he created man. And rested. And then he created woman. Since then, neither God nor man has rested.

Kamuzu Banda's massive estate, Nguru ya Nawambe House in his native Kasungu, spans 422 hectares with 24 bedrooms, 3 libraries, a stadium, a helipad & a dam. A court battle between his family and Mama Kadzamira over his will has left this magnificent property unused and neglected

Who the cap fit

#Malawi fuel procurement is increasingly scandalous. A proposed deal by the state bypassed the National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) to permit the equally struggling ADMARC to illegally award a K650 BN fuel contract to a SA company is mind-boggling www.investigativeplatform-mw.org/show-story/i...

Malawi’s fuel crisis has escalated into a full-blown national emergency, paralyzing the country. It’s time for President @LAZARUSCHAKWERA to declare a state of emergency and urgently seek external assistance. This situation is unsustainable—action is needed now. #Malawi

Malawi's version of "austerity measures" deserves its own Netflix special. Facing an economic meltdown, the government promised to tighten belts—then added more ministers to the Cabinet. Turns out, in #Malawi, austerity is just a state of mind.

In my 28 years as a journalist, I’ve seen leaders rise and fall, but never have I witnessed a descent as swift and shocking as President @LAZARUSCHAKWERA's.

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Mali is not the only African country going hard after global giants. In other lawsuits, Malawi is seeking more than $314-billion from Columbia Gem House, TotalEnergies and Star Agritech, writes @mcbrams.bsky.social continent.substack.com/p/the-rich-b...

Still in @thecontinent.bsky.social, I celebrate the incredible Tumaini Festival at Dzaleka Refugee Camp—a groundbreaking event that unites locals and refugees in a vibrant celebration of culture, music, and dance. A world-first moment of shared humanity! #TumainiFestival #Dzaleka

In @thecontinent.bsky.social today, my story on the $320 billion claim by the #Malawi government against 3 global firms for tax evasion, under declaring and unpaid dues. If this money was to be paid today, this fuel crisis will be history. But then again
